I also got banded on Monday. I seem to still have gas that does not want to escape. And when I try to burp I get a heavy uncomfortable sensation in my chest where the band is. Today I went for a walk outside with my daughter and my calf felt crampy and when I got home I felt nauseous

Man it's rough, I feel like someone stabbed me in the chest, just like you.. My doctor also performed hiatal hernia the same time so was under over 3 hours ...one overnight stay, trying to get fluids down and one protein shake a day that's it...have been able to swallow my vitamins but sore afterwards...i walked stairs and inside but i hear u you on the gas....

Take it one day at a time, it will get better with each day. Right now is a time recovery. They had me wait til I was on soft foods before they had me taking the vitamins. They may be hard to get down with the swelling.
